Understanding BMI With an Illustrated Guide to Healthy Weight

Thanks to Claire at Burning the Scale for tipping me off to to this set of 100 photos of real women labeled with their height, weight and body mass index, or BMI, number and category.
I love what she had to say about it in her post, excerpted in part:
I think this is trying to make […]

AcneFree Update: It’s Been Two Weeks, and I’ve Got Results!

After two weeks of using the AcneFree anti-acne cleansing system, which claims visible results in just two weeks, I am delighted to report the following positive outcomes:

Dramatically fewer blackheads everywhere, and particularly on my nose and chin.
NO cystic pimples. I had a couple last week during the worse-before-it-gets-better period, but they have surfaced and vanished.
No […]

AcneFree Update

Last week I posted on my new experiment with AcneFree anti-acne treatment. It’s been about a week, and I am definitely noticing a difference in my skin. I think I’m seeing less redness and a dramatic reduction in blackheads on my nose. Also, two PITA zits that I had right between my eyes for several […]

Acne Inspiration

After reading and thinking about Cory’s post yesterday, I finally broke down and bought the acne treatment package I’ve been eyeing at Costco for the last month and a half: AcneFree, from University Medicine.
It’s one of those “compare to Proactiv!” deals.

3-step formula
Cleanser, toner, repair lotion
Time-release, 24-hour acne fighting protection
Use twice a day

But this stuff, at […]

Acne Is in Vogue — The Magazine, That Is

When my friend Cory Jubitz tipped me off to a great article on acne in the current issue of Vogue, I just had to ask her to fill me in on the article. Here’s her take on it in one of Lively Women’s rare guest posts.

Lively Women Beats Glamour to the Punch!

In the current issue of Glamour, which I adore, don’t get me wrong, I noticed a bunch of topics that Lively Women covered first. I’m not saying I scooped them, mind you, because we had different sources and different approaches, but I like to think that it’s further evidence that Lively Women is on the […]

To My Friend, on the Morning of Her Boob Job

To my friend, on the morning of your boob job:
I know you won’t read this, and even if you do it won’t change your mind. But there are some things I need to say.

Plastic Surgery and Gastric Lap Band? For a 13-Year-Old? Are They Joking?

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the headline at That’s Fit, but apparently it’s true! A 220-lb 12-year-old underwent liposuction and a tummy tuck, but when the 40 lbs she lost came back just a year later, she had an additional surgery to get a gastric lap band.
As Martha said in her post,

Scarily Skinny Celebs: Nicole, Angelina, Lindsay, Mary-Kate, and more

The cover of the current issue of In Touch Weekly caught my eye last night, and I just had to pick it up even though I’m not usually someone who reads stuff like that. Just look at Nicole Richie! She looks positively ill. No wonder the cancer rumors have started circulating… (Interestingly, there […]
